J Here'sTheABCOfThe Jaft-HartleyLaborBill And What Led Up To It Br JAMES MARLOW I WA8HINOTON, June M (r-Here a brief ABO on the Taft-Hart-S ley Ubor bill and what led up to It. It'i to big, lt' so complicated, nd It doei eo many things that the wtaest labor lawyer right now can't tell you all It means or would do. For that reason many suits and test cases will be taken Into federal courts to get decisions on what this or that means. For 150 years In This country unions fought to force employer to bargain with them. No law said a boss had to bargain with a union. To gain their point, unions struck. Frequently' a boss could get federal Judges to order them, by injunction, not to strike. Congress Glvea Aid In 1032 congress gave organised labor Its first big help. It passed the Norrls-LaOuardta act. This law practically made It Impossible for a boss to get a court order stopping a strike. This strengthened unions' bargaining power a bit. .But there still was no law compelling a boss to bargain with a union. Labor got this In 135 when congress passed the Wagner act. This act, In brief, did two main things. It said: ' 1. A boss has to bargain with a union, of his workers. It didn't say a union has to bargain with a boss. The union could stall, If It wished. 1. The boss can't be unfair to unions, such as threatening to fire a man If he Joins a union. (The national labor relations board (NLRB), set up to administer ' the Wagner act could, with the help of courts, make a boss stop being unfair). In the II years since 1935. by grace of the Wagner act. unions have grown tremendously strong, too strong to suit some people, including congressmen. Critics of the Wagner act said It gar unions all the benefit and bosses none. ' Unions Restricted Nov? this year congress ha passed the Taft-Hartley bill to put re strictions on unions. It puts more restrictions on them than they've had In all history. The bill would make changes In the Wagner act and add some new things of Its own. Here are some of It main points: L Employers still are compelled to bargain with unions. But now unions must bargain with a boss. They cant stall him. t. CJosed shops where everyone must be a union member are for bidden. The Wagner act permitted closed shops!. l m anltn of the Nonis-LaOuardia act. the government can get injunctions to hold up tor 80 days strikes endangering national health and welfare. 4. Bosses are freer now to tell , workers what they think about a union. The bosses had to be pretty careful under the Wagner, act. , . A boss doesn't have to bargain with a union if any of It officers are communists. The Wagner act said nothing about this. s. Bosses don't have to bargain with their foremen, even though they Join a union. The Wagner act ignored this. T. Unions cant charge "excessive" dues. The Wagner act put no limit on this. ' a. Union and bosses cant break contracts without being liable for damage suits. The Wagner act didn't cover this. ' a. Union cant commit "unfair" labor practices. (There's a list of them). Under the Wagner act, bosses were forbidden such practices. The list of do's and don't is very long.
